#FestivalEstivalDeJam2026 Jam Session d'Étienne Mbappé

On stage, Étienne Mbappé embodies the very spirit of jam: a musical dialogue where each note is an invitation to adventure.

In this 20th edition of the Summer Jam Festival, the Club welcomes an emblematic musician whose history is intimately tied to this place: Étienne Mbappé.

This major name of jazz and world music has a true love story with the Club, beginning in the 1980s, and its stage which he knows better than anyone today, after decades of music, sweat, and passion shared between its walls.

His presence tonight is a celebration of the African roots of jazz. His very particular playing, with gloves, gives him an inimitable sonic signature – a finesse of touch and expressiveness on the surface that distinguishes him on all stages of the world.

Alongside him, three musicians of high caliber: Anthony Jambon on guitar, with crystalline and refined playing, already accomplice with Étienne on stage; Brice Essomba on keyboards, arranger and composer with jazz and Afro-contemporary colors; and Japhet Boristhène on drums, child of Reunion who became one of the most respected figures of the Lyon jazz scene.

An evening that promises to be memorable.
